The coast of Louisiana is wild, beautiful, and for some forbidding; yet it is very fragile as well. The consequence of the BP oil spill due to the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig of April 20, 2010 was visited on four different states, with cataclysmic consequences on the wildlife and scenery. The marshes and cheniers are not to played fast and loose with. There are some nonhuman losers when an oil spill occurs. In addition to these birds, the charismatic brown pelican was affected.

I remember the effect that the oil spill had on the Redneck Riviera.
They need to be more careful!
So sad what happened to the shore birds and beaches.
Angel, a great reminder of the damage from the oil spill. Hopefully one day everything will be back to normal.
so very sad.
It's sad. We have red tides sometimes too and seaweeds.
We too often lose sight of the fact that our search for resources has potentially deadly consequences.
Let's get that Keystone pipeline going so we can pump some more oil into the gulf.
Sad about the birds and fishes.
Almost too tragic to think about!
